One of Ireland’s foremost electronic artists, Daithí, released on March 11 his multi-layered new single ‘Familial ’. A track steeped in both tenderness and strength, ‘Familial’ is grounded by an underlying beat that echoes the solidity of the song’s subject matter.
The new single sees Daithí collaborate with New Zealand filmmaker Ayla Amano in an ambitious project that seeks to explore the ways families and communities communicate with one another; what is said and what is unsaid. What is spoken about through language and what is spoken about in more subtle, non-verbal ways.
Through Daithí’s music and Ayla’s accompanying film, common themes are explored between family relationships in rural Ireland and in New Zealand, in an attempt to ultimately say something about the world at large.
